Cruise Control Stopped Working
JTWOLD replied to JTWOLD's topic in 2014-2018 Silverado & Sierra Troubleshooting
I seem to have "fixed" the problem, but now I'm thinking there wasn't actually a problem besides owner stupidity. Yesterday I could not get the cruise to turn on, but I think I may have been pushing the cruise cancel button (with the X) instead of the cruise on button. In my defense, I was tired and driving in heavy traffic. The wierd part was that the cruise symbol did not appear at all on the dash. Now that I've had it on again the cruise symbol is back and remains white when not active and green when on, even after shutting the truck off it still appears in white. I'm puzzled how or why the cruise symbol completely went away, and now I can't make it go away if I try. The only thing I can think of is I had my battery disconnected while installing the HIDs a couple days ago. Anyway, seems back to normal now. -

I remember the bad brake light switch issue on the GMT900s, but didn't that cause the brake lights to be stuck on continuously? My brake lights go on & off normally. -
Cruise Control Stopped Working

I discovered today that my cruise control will not turn on or function at all. The cruise control light does not illuminate on the dash when I push the on/off button on the steering wheel. I've reviewed the fuse diagrams in the manual twice and do not see a fuse for the cruise, so I'm stumped. Anyone know if there is a cruise control fuse, or have any other suggestions? -
HID Headlight Bulbs / HID Projector Retrofit
JTWOLD replied to MotoMedic's topic in 2014-2018 Silverado & Sierra Mods
FWIW, I installed this same Sierra spec kit last night and had no issue with the fitment or orientation of the bulbs at all. I was actually impressed how well that part of the install went, my bulbs twisted into position easily and felt very snug. I took a pic of the stock bulb before removal and noted where the wide and narrow tabs were once I had it out, and used that as a reference to be sure I had the TRS bulb oriented correctly. I did not check to see if it could be installed in an incorrect orientation though. I didn't think that was possible with the 9012 bulbs. The return wires on my bulbs are facing downward, so hopefully that's correct. My light pattern seems consistent with others I've seen here, and so far I'm really happy with the light output. Except for the radio reception issue, I'm very happy with the kit for the price and a few hours labor. Big improvement.- 3,357 replies

2014+ Truck Bed / Tonneau Covers
JTWOLD replied to Green 1364's topic in 2014-2018 Silverado & Sierra Mods
I put a BakFlip F1 on my '14 Sierra short bed the first week I bought the truck. I've had BakFlip covers on my last two trucks and have been very pleased with them both. I personally like the look of a flush-mounted cover better than a top mount. And with the locking tailgate it's fairly secure, but still very easy to remove. A lot of places sell the BakFlip F1 for close to $1000, but I bought mine new on Amazon for $708 delivered. I see they're now $732 on Amazon, which is still a great deal. -
2014 Sierra All Terrain Crew Cab. Mods so far: - ReadyLift 1.5" leveling kit - Line-X bedliner - BakFlip F1 cover - Weathertech mats and rear liner Considering ditching the step bars, but my kids actually really need them to get in/out. Also plan on installing the GM (Borla) catback exhaust from my '08 once I can have someone weld the correct new-style flange on.

Just FYI - I called Bilstein this morning and asked about a 5100 series adjustable shock for the 2014 Silverado/Sierra. The tech support guy I spoke with said the 5100 for the 2014 trucks was "in development", and estimated 6 - 8 months before it was released. He also said the 5100 for 2013's and earlier would not work, but wouldn't elaborate on why. This is disappointing, as I was really hoping to use the Bilstein 5100 to level my '14 Sierra. I would will be willing to wait 6 - 8 weeks, but not 6 - 8 months. I think I may use a readylift kit for now, and consider swapping for the Bilsteins 5100's once they become available.
